CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) CODRINGTON V. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON. OLD COURT. (Before Mr Baron Bramwell.) KEEPING AN UNLICENSED LUNATIC ASYLUM, MARLBOROUGLI-STREET. This case was resumed this morning. It will be remem bered that on Saturday the case for the respondent closed, after which, the Queen's Advocate summed up the evidence for the respondent, and Mr Price, Q C., addressed the jury on behalf of Colonel Anderson, the co-respondent. Mr Bovill, Q C., this morning addressed the jury on the whole case. He said that four months had elapsed since this painful investigation commenced, and he congratulated them that they were all well and able to give their best atten tion to the case, and on the approaching termination of their labours. No one could regret that much time had been devoted to the case, for every particle of evidence had now been sifted, and had received every possible attenti n. It would have been sad indeed if every opportunity had not been given for thoroughly sNing every piece of evidence that could by any possibility have been adduced fur the defence. He thought it would be shown by an analysis of the evidence that it must lead irresistibly to one conclusion on the part of the jury, namely, that Admiral Codringtcn had completely proved his case, He regretted that the Queen's Advocate should have considered it necessary to attack the character of every witness who had been called for the petitioner. If cases of thin kind could only be supported by such attacks of pi ivate character, he scarcely knew where evidence was to be obtained, With regard to Mrs Watson, he contended that the allegations made against her by the Queen's Advocate were entirely without foundation. She was in no sense the concoctor of charges against Mrs Codringtcn. She said nothing about Col. Anderson, and it was not until after the petition had been filed that the name of Lieut. Mildmay came upon the scene. When information of Mrs Codrington's misconduct with Lieutenant Mildmay came to light an application was made to make him a co-respondent, but it was opposed by the Queen's Advocate, and the matter was not further Mrs Sophia Leander, a married lady, the proprietress of the Asylum for Lunatics, Turnham-green, surrendered pursuant to notice from the Lunatic Commissioners, she having been convicted under the Lunatic Protection Act of keeping a house for the reception of lunatics, not being duly licensed by law. At the trial the defendant was discharged on entering into her recognisances and bail to appear when called on for judgment, on the understanding that she gave up the establishment, and would not receive any persou of unsound mind. The defendant not hlviag complied with the undertaking the Commissioners of Lunacy gave her notice that an Inspector of Lunacy would visit her esta blishment to see if she had any persons under her care of unsound mind, and on o,:tobet 19 they made such visit and found persons inmates of her house, some of weak intellect, and three others who decided:y, in their judgment, came within the category of persons of unsound mind, upon which notice was given to her to surrender. Mr Giffird, on the part of the prosecutor, read several affidavits, setting out the report of the Inspector of Lunacy, and the correspondence that had taken place between the defendant and the Connui.ssioners, from which it appeared that the defendant was acting under the belief that she was not evading the law in receiving women of weak intellect only at her establishment. The defendant, in reply to several questions put by the judge, and his admonishing her she must nct disobey the law, insisted that she acted in strict conformity with the law, and was protected by Act of Pailiament, as she did not keep the inmates for profit. Mr Baron Bramwell said he would not pronounce any sentence then, but he warned and urged her to take his advice and comply strictly with the regulations of the Com missioners in Lunacy, who were a much more competent authori, y than she was to determine whether she was dis obeying the law. She had been guilty of disobeying it, and he warned her if it was found necessary to call her up again she would be severely punished. The defendant was then discharged on her own recog pressed, He urged the impossibility of the charge that Admiral Codrington attempted to take possession of the person of Miss Faithfull, at ter the lapse of seven 3 ears, and came to the conclusion that it was a mistake on the part of Mr Few, who thought he was authorised by Miss Faithfull to put that allegation on the record. Miss Faithfull had stated that she knew scarcely anything of the matter, that all she knew of it was that Mrs Codrington had told her so, and that she supposed she was only to confirm the fact that Mrs Codrington had told her so, It was wonderful that Mr Few, as a sensible man, could have believed such a story, while no one complained of it until the commencement of these proceedings. 'lhe whole story was a concoction of Mrs Codrington's, and Miss Faith- nuances, THE CHARGE OF ILLEGALLY CONFINING A WIFE AT P ECKIIAM. Elward Hammond, Emily Wakeman, and Elizabeth Allen, the two latter female servants in Hammond's ser vice, surrendered to answer an indictment charging them with unlawfully assaulting and confining in a room Eliza beth Hammond, the wife of the male defendant. There were several other indictments for continuous assaults. Before the defendants pleaded, Mr Sergeant Ballantine said ho appeared for the defen dant Hammond, and on looking at the depositions he felt bound to say that he could not cmsistently struggle against the charge, and the defendant, therefore, unaer his advice would plead guilty. full had shown there was no foundation, and that she had unwisely placed reliance in Mrs Codrington's representa tions. (The learned ccunsel read several letters which passed between the various parties, contending that it was impossible that two ladies could have written such letters atter so gross an outrage had been committed.) lie thought, therefore, they might dismiss Miss Faithful' and that part of the charge. In 1858 the Admiral and Mrs Codrington proceeded to Malta, and evidence had been adduced that Admiral Codrington treated his mile in the kindest possible manner, as had been proved by Dr. Peck thorne, the medical officer there, Emily Miller, who was 10 years in the service of the Codringtons as nurse, and many other witnesses. But what was the course of life Mrs Codrington pursued ? The admiral held a high official position, and being obliged to rise early in the morning he was anxious to go home early at night. When they went to the opera, dinner parties, and similar places, they went home together; but when she went to balls the admiral could never get her away, and was obliged to leave without her. Dr. Pickthorne and others remonstrated with her on THAMES. Mr Huddlestone, who appeared for the prosecution, said he should not object to the course proposed. Tho defendant Hammond then pleaded guilty. The two o; her c efendants, Wakeman and Allen, pleaded not guilty to all the indictments. Mr Iluddlestone said, on the part of the prosecution he did not propose to offer any evidence against the female defendants. The jury then, under the direction of the learned judge ; returned a verdict of not guilty, The female defendants were then discharged, Mr Sergeant Ballentine asked the learned judge to post pone passing sentence until next Session, in order that time might be given for the preparation of certain affidavits in mitigation. Mr Baron Bramwell said he knew nothing of the case or of the defendant, but he could not deny that he hid read something of the case in newspapers. [le would look over the depositions and say to-morrow whether judgment should be respited to the January Sessions, when •he would be in Court. The defendant in the meantime could be admitted to bail. the subject on family considerations, and on the score of her health, but all remonstrances were unavailing. And what was the state of the admiral's household ? In the morning he collected his household together, and where was Mrs. Codrington P In bed, Never at family prayers, and systematically attending to her duties. For her own self-indulgence she neglected her family by staying out to three or four o'clock in the morning, with whom would be shown in the sequel. If she did not come home with the admiral with whom did she come? Why, with Col. Ander son and Lieut. Mildmay. Whenever she went home with either of these gentlemen the gondola get out of trim, but the waterman declared that the boat never got out of trim except when Mrs Codrington was accompanied by one or other of those gentlemen. Tiro gondola was a large heavy boat, rowed by four men, and not a little craft that would soon be put out of trim. The witness Duck had been sneered at, but he held a respectable position as butler to a banker, and resided in the banking-house, a position which he could not be likely to obtain without a very high character. Besides this, witness after witness spoke to the same facts, and it was absurd to suppose that they were all to be disbelieved. On arriving at home Lieut. Mild may would go in the house, stay an hour or two, and sometimes the ser vants never saw him go out at ail. Therefore they formed a pretty clear idea of what Mrs Codrington's habits were. The first charge of adultery in the order of time was with Lieut. Mildmay, and it would have been supposed that it these statements were untrue, or were to be explained, The same bail that was taken by the magistrates was ,ben accepted for the defendant Hammond's a[pearance :0-morrow. WOUNDING WITH INTENT TO MURDER. John Howard, a prisoner in the Middlesex House of Correction, was indicted for assaulting, with intent to murder, Henry Green, a warder in the prison. Henry Green, said the prisoner was in the tailor's shop of the prison, and being occupied in cutting he asked for a knife, which was at once given Lim. He (witness) then turned round to go away, when the prisoner sprang upon him and inflicted a wound on the back part of the neck. A brother warder came to his assistance, the knife was taken from the prisoner, and he was secured. The surgeon said the wound, although not of a serious nature, was in a very dangerous part. The jury found the prisoner guilty of assaulting, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor at this moment was passing over the dock, when the prisoner in the most violent manner threatened and attemp'ed to strike him. 3f.r Baron Bramwell told the prisoner ho was a perfect stranger to him, and all he hal to do was to administer the law. He w)uld, however, before doing so, offir a few words of advice to him ; but from what he had just seen in the dock he was afraid that the day would come when ho would stand in the same position on a charge of murder, and that ho would end his career on the public scatl'jld. MARKETS---This Day. Lieut. Mildmay would have appeared before the com mihston to which he was invited. Why was he not here under the peremptory orders of the Horse Guards to clear Mrs Codrington. He could not believe that Lieutenant Mildmay, unless ho were lost to all sense of honour, could not have come at all hazards. if he were innocent, to vindi- cate the character of Mrs Codrington and his own. Ad verting to Mrs Watson's evidence, he remarked upon that portion of it in which she spoke of the unfortunate at tachment Mrs Codrington had formed for Lieutenant Mildmay, and her efforts to bring her to a better mind. Foul charges had been made by Mrs Codrington against Mrs Watson that she had passed whole days with the admiral, Prisoner—l will if I get a chance at him (po!nting to Green.) Mr Baron Bramwell—Very well, then. I will do what:l can to prevent it. I therefore sentence you to 20 years penal servitude. Prisoner (who on leaving the dock behaved in the most violent manner) —Ps no more than I expected. although the queen's Advocate had since stated that it was never intended to impute immorality to Mrs Watson, but the statement had bean placed upon record, and what inference were the jury to draw from such an allegation. The fact of such an allegation being placed upon the record could only bear one interpretation, and he had felt bound, painful as the trial had been, to place Mrs Watson in the witness-box, in order that she might solemnly deny so gross a charge. Tho statement that Admiral Codrington was unduly familiar with Mrs Watson was as untrue as that ho had attempted the virtue of Miss Faithful!. Something had been said of the manner of Mrs Watson in the witness-box, but the jury would hot be surprised at some indignation being exhibited by a lady against whum so foul an insinuation had been launched. lie justified Mrs Watson's evidence, contending that Mrs Watson never expressed her own opinion that Mrs Codrington was more suffering than sinning, but merely said that Mrs Smith, Mrs Codrington'a mother, would find it some solace to her in her closing moment, to believe that her erring daughter was more suffering than sinning. Mrs Watson throughout seemed to have acted with the most Christian kindness towards Mrs Codrington in con- ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE Michael Cocklin and Thomas Linscott were indicted for robbing Thomas Hind Varney of his watch and chain. The evidence showed that the robbery was a most daring one, the prosecut or having been to a certain extent garroted near to Southwark-b r id ge -road. The jury acquitted Li nscott and foun d C oc klin gu ilty. Six previous convi c ti ons having b een proved against him, The learned judge sentenced him to 10 years' penal ser vitude. The prisoner seemed astonished at the sentence. THIRD coURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) EI IIBEZZLEMENT. John Tawn was indicted for embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employer, Alexinder Gordon. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. FORGERY. Theodore Ralfe, 17, clerk, was indicted for feloniously uttering a certain bill of exchange for £3, bearing thereon a forged endorsement, with intent to defraud. The Common Sergeant sentenced him to one years' imprisonment. cealing her folly, her frailties, and her wickedness, and it was Mrs Codrington who had turned round to inflict a sting in the most vital part of a woman's character. (The learned gentleman had not concluded his address when we went to press.) FOURTH COURT. (Before the Recorder.) FELON lOUSLY WOUNDING. George White was indicted for feloniously wounding George Peers, with intent to resist his lawful apprehen sion. He was also i n di cted fur stealing a pair of trousers the property of Frederick Moses, he having been previously convicted. The jury found him guilty. The Recorder, in passing se ntence, said the prisone r seemed to have made up h is mind to pursue a course of dis honesty. As he had already suffered three terms of impri • sonment, for three, six, and nine months, he was prevented from passing any but a very severe punishment. fie then sentenced the prisoner to be kept to penal servitude for seven years. NEW COURT. (Before Mr Justice Byles.) Charles Eaton do Witt, merchant, and Duncan M'Lean Wright were ind cted for conspiring together and by false pretences obtaining from Melchor Lopez divers dock war rants and orders for the delivery o f wine, the property of Manuel Garcia Robot and another, of the value of £4,722, with intent to defraud. There was also another indictment charging the prisoners with feloniously forging and utter ing seven bills of exchange for the payment of money. with intent to defraud the said Manuel Garcia Rubet. The case is not expected to conclude to-day. ALLEGED MURDER IN KE Yesterday d wardeSnatturday night last.

Thi s l e d t o an angry feeling, the prisoner Turner denouncing the deceased as a liar, and the deceased, who had threatened to strike Turner, pushed him violently. The constable and another officer who cause up during the altercation then ad vised the deceased, who lived at Bromley, to go home, and he proceeded to do so, at the same time bidding the con stables "Good night." The prisoners, who stayed behind some time, were afterwards observed to start off hurriedly in the direction the deceased had taken. Both officers fol lowed, and when some distance off they heard some one calling out "Get up, you —," and on proceeding about 100 yards further ou they found that Turner was holding the deceased by tho neck, while Staples had hold of his legs. In answer to the constables, Turner, making use of a coarse expression, said the deceased had fallen down, and they Were picking him up. The deceased was then in sensible, and his face covered with blood. Tho prisoners wore at once secured, and on Mr Fulcher, surgeon, of Or pington, Icing called to the deceased, he found him bleeding from a wound over the left eye Ole orbit of which was coin. pletely destroyed), r and also from the nose and mouth ! the injuries having evidently been inflicted by violent kicks. The deceased remained insensible up to the time of his death, which took place late the previous night, the injury over the eye, in the opinion of the medical man, being suffi cient to account for death. The prisoners were remanded pending the inquiry before the coroner of the district. rHE SUN, LONDON, WERNESDAY EVEMNG, NOVEMBER 23, 1864. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,---This Day. OBTAINING GOODS BY MEANS OP FORGED ORDERS. —Edward Williame, described as "a porter, no home," was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with obtaining a quantity of cloth from Mr James Platt, woollen draper, 78, St. Martin's -lane. Brighten Fuller, an assistant to Mr Platt, said that on the 22d of October the prisoner called with an order which he said ha hqd brought from Mr Wolfe, of Old Bond-street, for some cloth and doeskin. As the order purported to be signed by Mr Wolfe, and Mr Wolfe had been a customer, he gave him the goods of the value of XI 18s. Charles Kempton, another assistant of Mr Platt's, said that on the 27th of October the prisoner called and presented an order stating that he had been sent, by Mr Wolfe, of Old liond•street. As the order was signed "J. B. Wolfe," and Mr Wolfe had been a customer, he gave the prisoner the goods of the value of £l. 33. On the 12th of November the prisoner called again, and with a similar order obtained more goods of the value of £, 63. Having heard from Mr Wolfe that he had not sent the orders, on the prisoner calf• ing yesterday evening with another order, which ho said be had brought from Mr Wolfe, he was given into custody by ➢lr Platt. Mr Samuel Benjamin Wolfe, tailor, of No. 45, Old Bond street, said the orders produced had never been sent by him, and they were forgeries, He had not dealt with Mr Platt for two years, and knew nothing of the prisoner. Police-constable Kelly, 53, said that on asking the pri soner whether he knew anything of the orders, he replied, " Yes ; I wrote them all." The prisoner was committed for trial. DEFRAUDING TURF SPECULATORS.—James Baker, of 40, Windmill-street, Tottenham-court-road, appeared be fore Mr Tyrwhitt to answer a charge of unlawfully obtain ing, by means of false and fraudulent pretences, from l‘lr Robert East, of Sloane-street, Knightsbridge, the sum of Li, with intent to cheat and defraud him of the same. It appeared from the evidence that Mr East is a specula tor upon the turf, and that defendant called upon Mr East and represented himself to be a Mr Johnson, a person to whom Mr East owed LI for a bet upon a horse called the Tartar, for the Liverpool Cup, obtained the money, and so defrauded Mr East, the fraud being discovered upon the real Mr Johnson calling for his money. The practice havicg been carried on to some extent, and Mr East being deter mined to check it, took the present proceedings againet the defendant. In answer to the charge, the defendant said he made the bet himself, for which he received the money, but this was denied both by Mr East and his clerk. Mr Tyrwhitt committed the defendant for trial, SILOPLIFTING.—Mary Ann Willia►ns, who said she was 19 years of age, and looked much older, calling herself a hawker of fruii, and John Sullivan, 33, were brought before Mr Paget, charged with stealing a coat from an out , fitter's shop. Richard Barker, foreman cutter to Mr Thomas Bell, outfitter, of No. 7, Portland-place, Commercial-road, said the prisoners came into his master's shop last night, and directly they entered it he suspected they were shoplifters, and determined on watching them. The rcr.le prisoner said he wanted to buy a coat. He took down a bundle of coats to show to the prisoners, and soon missed one of them. He saw the female prisoner put a coat under her shawl , and he spoke aloud to Mr Brill that a coat was stolen. The woman heard what ho said, and she dropped the coat on the floor. Her companion picked it up and put it on the counter. A coat was tried on Sullivan, and he was told the price of it was 28s, which the woman said was too much. They then left the shop. He followed them until he met with a police-constable, and then caused them to be arrested. Only 9s was found on the two, not enough to pay for a new coat. The female prisoner, in a rich Munster brogue, said she alone was guilty, and Misther Sullivan was as innocent as the babe that was never born, It was her first offence, and she hoped it would be her last. She begged for mercy any how. Sullivan—l know nothing about this, yer hanner's wort chip, at all. It's quite innocent I am. I was to the fore when she took the coat, but I did not see her, yer hanner's wortchip. Shure, now, I am brought like a sheep to the slaughter. A police constable said he believed the prisoners were regular shoplifters. They told a let of regular, different, round-about stories—(laughter)—that he could not make head or tail of. Mr Paget said he should remand the prisoners., and be directed inquiries to be made about them. Inspector Hayes, of the K division, said the prisoners would not give any address. He believed they were man and wife. Mr Paget—Do the best you cm with the scanty informa ion you have. The prisoners are remanded for a week.

SINGULAR CATASTROPIIE.—A few days ago a butcher, going his rounds near Stuttgardt at an early hour in the morning, perceived the smoke and reflection of a fire in the fields. On approaching the spot he found a man burned to death under the charred fragments of a heavy waggon. Of the four horses, threo were dead and roasted, the fourth, all but unscathed, standing quietly by. It would seem that the deceased man had been driving a load of hay along the highway at night. Coming near the spot where his master's fields commence, a horse, or some of the horses, getting restive, wanted to leave the road and take their accustomed way across the country. Before he could prevent them they had dragged the waggon into the ditch, overturned it, and buried the man, who must hive been walking at his side, under the hay. One of his legs and arms were broken, the lantern he carried in his hand smashed, and the hay set on fire. There he lay, unable to crawl from underneath the oppressive weight, and was slowly roasted.

EXTRAORDINARY RAILWAY ADVENTURE.—It has often been said that there is a special providence which takes care cf drunken men, and the incident we ap pend would seem to add weight to the assertion. We yes terday published a telegram received from Liverpool the previous night, to the effect that a man had been thrown out, or had fallen out of the express train which leaves London at 5 o'clock for Liverpool. Immediately the fact was known it was telegraphed to Liverpool, and on the arrival of the train there five men occupying the compartment spoken of were taken into custody. Their names were—James Mur phy, William Reynolds, and Joseph Mantel, seamen be longing to the ship Commodore Perry, the property of Messrs. Baines and Co. ; also another seaman named James Burnes, and a sergeant in the Royal Artillery named James Cowperthwaite, on leave of absence from Sheernes. Cuw perthwaite made a statement to the effect that when the ex press left London there were in the same compartment of a second class carriage with himself, the four men mentioned, another man, said to have got out at Crewe, and Edward Apter, the man whom we supposed to have been killed. This man seemed to be about 21 years of age,and was drunk. Soon after leaving London he began showing his money, which was in an old-fashioned red leather purse. Murphy told him not to be a fool, but to put his money back. Tho man appeared to be very careless about it, and answered that it was "all right." They then had some drink, of which Apter partook. Shortly after this Apter jumped up and said he wanted to get out, as he was at Euston-square. Murphy took hold of him by the collar and pushed him on to the seat, telling him to sit still, Apter again got up, and staggered against the door of tho carriage, which flew open and he fell out. At this time the train was going at 40 to 50 miles an hour, and it was of course supposed that he was killed. The line was searched from Rugby for a consider able distance, but no trace was found of the missing man. The result of the search was telegraphed to Liverpool, and all the men there in custody were kept under surveillance. Murphy, who appeared to be most intimately associated with the occurrence, began to be very uneasy at his position. The oddest part of the story has yet to come. By the train which arrives in Liver pool at eleven o'clock the missing man presented himself safe and well with scarcely a scratch to show. Ilia account of his• extraordinary escape has a very ludicrous aspect. He remembers distinctly having been in the railway carriage, but everything else is a blank until ho found himself awaking from a damp sleep in the ditch at the bottom of a high embankment. lie supposes that he awoke about ten o'clock, but his sleep must have lasted much longer. He managed to find his way to the next station, and went on to Liverpool at the first oppor tunity. City Sewers Commission. At a meeting of the commissioners, held yestere day, at Guildhall, Dr Letheby (the medical officer) submitted his quarterly report on the sanitary con dition of the City, which stated that, in the course of the summer quarter in Sept. last, there were 660 births and 603 deaths registered in the City. Both of these numbers were below the average for the corresponding period of the last ten years; the births having declined from the large proportion of 773 in the quarter, and the deaths from 667. The distribution of the 660 births was as follows :-278 in the eastern division of the City, 183 in the wes tern, and 199 iu the central. There were in the annual proportion of 27 per 1000 of the inhabitants of the first named district, 27 4 of the second, and only 17.1 per 1000 of the third ; the average for the whole City being 23.6. In all England the pro• portion of births during the roamer quarter was about 33 per 1000 of the people. Of the 663 deaths in the quarter 268 occurred in the eastern district of the City, 166 in the western, and 229 in the cen tral. These numbers were in the annual propor tion of 23 5 per 1000 of the Eastern Union,24-1 of the Western, and 19 .7 of the City proper,making together an average of 23.1 per 1000 for the whole City. In the districts comprising the chief towns of England the average mortality for the summer quarter was 22.5 per 1,000, and in all England it is 20. But everywhere duringthe last quarter the mortality had risen above the average, for in the districts of the chief towns it was 23.7 per 1,000 of the popu lation, and in the country generally it was 21.4 ; although, therefore, the mortality in some of the City districts had manifestly been excessive, yet the total mortality for the whole City had not been so great as that of our large towns, and in some parts of the City the death-rate had not been much greater than that of the small towns and rural districts of England. 309, or about 43 per cent, of all the deaths were among children of less than 5 years of age, and 132 were among persons of 60 and upwards. The mortality of children had been a little above the average,which is about 42 per cent. of all the deaths, and this excess had been chiefly in the Eastern Union, where the infant mortality had reached to 58 per cent. of the deaths. The chief cause of this excessive mortality among children had been an une due prevalence of diarrhces and measles; the num ber of deaths from the first-named disorder had risen from an average of 49 in the quarter to 65, and that of the latter from 17 to 44. Iu the corresponding quarter of last year there were but 33 deaths from infantile diarrl, eel, and only 4 from measles. 'The proportion of deaths from other causes had been nearly as usual—phthisis,for example, had been fatal in 85 cases, tabes end scrofula in 45, hydrocephalus in 9, convulsions and teething in 38, pneumonia and bronchitis in 67, continued fever in 28, scarlet, fever 22, whooping cough and croup 33, erysipelas 3, and the diarrfasa of adults 11—making together 139 deaths from tubercular diseases, 67 from inflame matory affections of the lungs, end 206 from dis eases of a zymotic character—the averages for the corresponding period of the last ten years being 151 from the first named maladies, 56 from the second, and 176 from the third. It would seem, therefore, that the circumstances which had augmented the number of deaths from zymotic diseases, and espe cially from infantile diarrhcen had lessened the mortality from tubercular diseases. This might per haps be explained in same measure by the facts re corded in the table of the meteorology of the _quar ter. The average temperature of the quarter (60.2) had been fully one degree less than usual (61.5) ; and the amount of rain-fall had been only 4.51 in., instead of 6.21. The number of wet days (34) had also been under the average, and therefore the hygrometric condition of the atmosphere had been less than usual. In ordinary seasons the amount of moisture in the air had been about 76 per cent of saturation, but during the last quarter it was only 69 per cent. A dry and cold summer is therefore a check on the development of wnsumptive diseases. l'he sanitary work of the quarter was shown in the last two tables of the appendix. It would be seen that 1,796 houses had been inspected, and that 826 visits had been made to the common lodging-houses of the City. These had resulted in the issuing of 768 orders for sanitary improvement, of which 642 were for cleansing and lime-whiting the interior of houses. In consequence of the difficulty of Effecting the required sanitary improvements of certain houses in the City, it had been found necessary to take legal proceedings against the owners or lessees, and in several instances they had been fined and ordered to pay the costs of the inquiry. The markets and slaughterhouses had been duly inspected, and the officers had condemned 76,283tb5., or upwards of 34 tons of meat as unfit for human food ; 46,5171b5. were putrid, 22,8371b5. were diseased, and 5,9291b5. were from animals that had died from disease. It consisted of 380 sheep, 21 calves, 132 pigs, 375 qrs of beef, and 1,090 joints of meat, besides 72 geese 2 deer, and 25 cases of rabbits, HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's _Report.) The rate of mortality in London for the week that ended last Saturday was excessive, and its riso has been rapid. The deaths were 1,742. In the three previous weeks they were successively 1,409, 1,454, and 1,586. The number in the second week of the present month was heavy; but that which is now returned exceeds it by 156. The mean tern perature of the air had been bl deg in October. In the first week in November it fell to 42'4 deg; in the next to 37 . 5 deg, and last week it was 45 . 6 deg. The average number of deaths for the 46th week of le years, 1854-63, is, wich a correction for increase of popula tion, 1,411. The actual result exceeds the estimated num ber by 331. The deaths of persons under 20 years of age were 877 in the preceding week, and 565 last week ; those of GO years of age and upwards rose from 280 to 360, Phthisis, bronchitis, and heart disease exhibit a marked increase in last week. To phthisis were referred 183 deaths, the corrected average being 167 ; to bronchitis 249, the cor rected average being 160 ; and to heart disease 91, against 58. Those from pneumonia (inflammation of the substance of the lungs) were 165 against 118. Bronchitis was by far the most fatal of all diseases on the list. Tae deaths of eight nonagenarians were returned in the week. The deaths in the Kensington district rose from 87 in the previous week to 115; in Marylebono they rose trout 84 to 96; in Lambeth from 79 to 111; in Greenwich from Si to 99; in Whitcchapel from 52 to 71, In all these districts they were much above the average. Measles was fatal in 63 cases, 7 of which were recorded in the district of Poplar, 6 in the west sub-district of Green wich. Scarlatina was fatal in 85 cases, 5 of which were in St. John, Westminster, 5 in llaggerstone East, 4 in St. George, Bloomsbury. There were 10 deaths from typhus in Greenwich district, 3 in I'lumstead, 7 in Poplar district. The total number in London was 86. At 19, Buthby-street, Bethnal-green, on the 7th inst., a bricklayer, aged 52, died of consumption accelerated by want. (Inquest.) At 14, Half Nichols-street, Bethnal-green, on the 4th inst., the deughter of a labourer, aged 9 weeks, died from exposure and want of nourishment. (Inquest.) A boy, aged 10 months, died on the 15th inst. at 8, Blue. gate-fields, St George-in-the-East, of disease accelerated by destitution and neglect. (Inquest.) A woman, aged 66 years, died on the 10th inst. in East street, Greenwich, of starvation accelerated by intoxication. (Inquest), A house painter died from lead poison. A labourer was suffocated and burnt by falling into a limekiln, to which he had gone to sleep. Last week the births of 944 boys and 1,016 girls, in all 1.960 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1851-63 the average number (corrected) was 1,906. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.081 in. The reading of the instrument was 28.61 in on Monday; and rose to 29.72 in on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 45 5 deg,, which is 2 8 deg above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was constantly above the average. On Thursday the highest day tempera ture was 51.3 deg; and the lowest night temperature 35.2 deg. These were also the highest and lowest in the week. Consequently the range of the thermometer on that day and in the week was 19.1 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 3 . 4 deg. Tho mean degree of humidity of the air was 88, comp ete saturation being represented by 100. On three days saturation was nearly attained. The wind was mostly S.W. and S.S.E. Rain fell to the amount of 0.83 in., the greater part of which fell on M onday and Thursday. There were dense fogs on the mornings of Tuesday and Wednes• day.

CODRINGTON. Continued from our First Edition.) Mr Bovill having referred at some length to the other points in the evidence, appealed in very eloquent terms to the jury on behalf of his client, who, he considered, had acted throughout as an honourable man and a kind hut-. band. His Lordship, in the course of a most elaborate summina up, which lasted over two hours, adverted to the letter of Mrs Codrington to Colonel Anderson, which he said must satis:y every reasoning man that there had been a great intimacy between Mrs Codrington and the Colonel, although there was nothing in the letter to prove that adultery was committed. He aho alluded to the letter from Mr Smith, in which he spoke of the respondent as an erring daughter, and adverted to the conduct of Mrs Watson, which ho described as most extra ordinary and suspicious. THE VERDICT. The jury returned into Court at 25 minutes to 6. The Clerk of the Court—Genth. men, have you agreed upon your verdict ? The Foreman—We have. The Clerk—Do you find that Mrs Codrington committed adultery with Litut. Mildmay ? The Foreman—We do. The Clerk—Do you find that Mrs Codrington committed adultery with Colonel Anderson? The Foreman—We do. The Clerk—Do you find that Colonel Anderson cern naitted adultery with Mrs Codrington ? The Fereman—We do. The Clerk—Do you fi..d that Admiral Codrington, by his wilful negleet or misconduct, conduced to the misconduct of his wife? The Foreman—We do not. The Judge Ordinary then ordered a decree nisi for a divorce. Mr Bovill applied for costs. The Judge Ordinary—Not at present. That must be a subject for future consideration. It was then arranged by the parties, with the sanction of the judge, that the jurors should be allowed a guinea a day each for their services. The Curt then adjourned. SINGULAR ROBBERY OF £360 AND OTHER VALU. ABLES AT ELIVICK BALL.—A fortunate yet strange discovery of stolen property took place on Wednesday, at Elwick, rear West Hartlepool, In August, 1863, Mr Baron Park's son was a guest of the Rev. J. A. Park, at Elwick Hall, and on the night of the 11th of August, before the household had retired to rest, a pocket-book, containing two Bank of England notes, ono for £2O) and the other for £lOO, a cheque for £57, four sovereigns and some silver, a massive gold watch and chain, gold pin, and studs, were stolen from the dressing-room of the baron's son, Mr James Park. Suspicion attached to the bu!ler, R. H. Hepton, and ho was brought before the magistrates, but for want of evidence was discharged. He left the neighbourhood, and got a situation in the south; and a strict watch was kept over the premises for upwards of a month, but no clue was obtained to the perpetration of the robbery, or the discovery of the stolen property. On Wed nesday last, 15 months after the robbery, as two of Mr Park's workmen were engaged in cutting a stack of hay, they found the pocket-book containing the whole of the missing property, about three feet from the outside cf the stack. They took it to Mr Park, end will no doubt receive the £2O reward that was offered at the time of the robbery. BARNET FAIR, MONDAY.—This fair opened ycs. ,erday, and although comparatively small to the great Sep. tember cattle mart, yet there was a useful lot of stock sold freely to metropolitan milkmen, and young steers and heifers met a fair demand at equivalent value, and fat cattle sold at from £l4 to x:18 The horse show comprised a miscellaneous collection of horses, sound animals for light harness, and for heavy draught purposes, selling at 15 to 25 guineas. Riding cobs and harness ponies were in fair request. This fair lasts but one day. FEVER IN LIVERPOOL: GOVERNMENT INQUIRY. —The Medical Department of the Privy Council httvenotl tied to the Mayor of Liverpool that, in consequence of the prevalence of fever in the town, they have determined to send_down Dr. Buchanan to inquire into the present sani tary conditon of the town, more particularly with reference to the recent spread of fever. As this determination on the part of the Privy Council may create unnecessary alarm, it may be as well to state that Dr. Trench, the local medical officer of health, last week reported to the Health Commit tee of the corporation that the death rate of Liverwol was only five above the average of the last ten years, whilst that of the metropolis was 31.0 above the average. DIFFICULT DIPLOMACY.—Diplomacy in Morocco, besides the difficulties incidental to the discharge of its high function of composing international difficulties, and maintaining a good understanding with the Sultan's Go vernment, has physical obstacles to encounter unknown to the diplomatic service in Europe. The European represen tatives near the person of the Sultan, if they have occasion to quit their comfortable residences at Tangier in order really to approach near the person of the Sheriffian Majesty to whom they are accredited have, especially in the winter season, their choice between a land journey overa rough and roadless country, with the chance of being washed away by riv ers swol'en by ceaseless rains, or else remaining in wet canvas on their banks till the waters subside and allow of a passage, and the hardly less dangerous alternative of a sea voyage and landing on a coast exposed to the heavy swell of the Atlantic. We noticed the other day that the British prminis treedi minis ter, after paying his visit to the Sultan at Rabat, incurr e d us sent private some risk of being swamped on the bar of the riv er upon his m letterba r k a t f i r o o n m in n ßab h a e t informs rMajesty's thatsteamer the Pee tive of France fared no better. Sir John D rummond Hay embarkation had paid his official visit, and was in danger on embarking of being upset in the surf, and rolled back upon the African share. M. d'Aquin, the French minister, incurred the exactly opposite peril, that of be;ng swept out to sea. He had left the French cervate Talisma n , embarking with . his suite in the surf boat sent out from Rabat. The day was calm, no difficulty in landing could possibly have been foreseen, and the corvette steamed away as soon as she had fired her salute of 17 guns in honour of the departing mi nister, and had seen him on his way to the shore. But when the boat approached the mouth of the river, it was found with dismay that the stream, swollen by heavy rains, was flowing with so rapid a current into th e ocean that the rowers could not make head against it, and a f ter struggling for four hours, and being joined by another boat from the shore, which was unable to help them, the ex hausted crew gave up the contest, and were swept out to sea. By great good fortune they were able to find a land • ing place on the coast, and in the end reached Rabat in safety by land.—Gibraltar Chronicle, Nov. 14: TUE FEDERAL EN LISTME/i T CASE.—Ycsterdsy morning the Mayor of Liverpool received a letter from the Home Secretary stating that the case of the Great Western had been laid before the law officers of the Crqwn, and tha t the depositions of the men had been placed in their hands. A subscription is being made to enable the poor fellows sill emitiaing to return to their homes. -7 1 iii i ~ 1 ,1 ' il +(, 4,1 i 1 ii i 1 i i i
